Description of the new feature / enhancement
Up until the creation of the fonts manifest root, WinGet-Pkgs only had a single manifests root. This root was assumed in many parts of WinGet-Create, including identity of packages not including the root.
Proposed technical implementation details
Support for full manifest root for everything requires:
- Adding manifest root type to the internal tracking identity of packages.
- Determining which root a particular manifest is in instead of assuming it is manifests.
- Updating parts where the manifest root of "manifests" is assumed or default specified.
- Tests and validating scenarios for non-Manifests root types for update, locale, etc, such as for font packages.
